by Gustaf Neumann 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] First CFP: 9th Workshop of the Multimedia Metadata Community (WMM'09) Datum: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 04:31:35 -0400 Von: Ralf Klamma <klamma(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de> Antwort an: Ralf Klamma <klamma(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> First Call for Papers 9th Workshop of the Multimedia Metadata Community (WMM'09) with a special focus on context-aware mobile multimedia services http://coresa2009.enseeiht.fr/#workshops March 19th-20th To be held in conjunction with CORESA'09 Invited speaker: Timo Ojala, University of Oulu, Finland Background: It can be expected in the near future that the number of created digital multimedia content will rise dramatically. Multimedia metadata is currently the only way to cope with problems like semantics based retrieval or organization of content and provides means to specify adaptation and delivery constraints and rules. In addition, the integration of accurate hand-held positioning within mobile phones, PDAs, portable computer and the like have brought location-based services directly to individuals, transforming the way we work, travel or play. Therefore location has become an important element of the context when using a mobile multimedia application. The usage context becomes richer and provides new hints for search, delivery and consumption to individual user's situations. This workshop proposes to disseminate ideas on multimedia content analysis, indexing and retrieval, multimedia semantics and in special on the usage of location information for smart media acquisition and multimedia content analysis. Organization: The Multimedia Metadata Community (www.multimedia-metadata.info) has already organized a series of 8 successful workshops in the past taking place in Aachen, Berlin, Graz and Klagenfurt. The Multimedia Metadata Community welcomes and encourages submissions from outside the core community to broaden aspects and extend the active and successful community and network with new members. The 9th meeting will be organized in Toulouse as a special session of the 13th French Multimedia Conference on Compression and Representation of Audiovisual Signals (CORESA 2009). Both events will share joint panels and sessions bringing researchers and industry experts to fruitful discussions. On March 18th afternoon, an industrial session including LBS demos of the Toulouse Open platform (www.navigation-satellites-toulouse.com) will bootstrap the academic program. The WMM'09 workshop is organized by the Institute of Research in Informatics (IRIT) of the University of Toulouse (www.irit.fr). The WMM'09 chairs are Romulus Grigoras (romulus.grigoras AT enseeiht.fr) and Vincent Charvillat (vincent.charvillat AT enseeiht.fr). Important Dates: � Submission deadline : Dec. 1 2008 � Notification upon acceptance : Jan. 13 2009 � Camera-ready papers deadline : Feb. 13 2009 � Workshop : Mar. 19 to 20 2009 (Mar. 18 for the industrial demo session) Topics of interest include: � Multimedia Metadata: interoperability, semantics, content analysis � Multimedia databases and information management � Mobile multimedia metadata � Location and Context Modeling for mobile multimedia communities � User-adaptive maps � Visual 2D/3D registration for LBS: integrating GPS/GNSS signals and GIS data, metadata � Personalized/location-aware delivery of multimedia content Besides traditional applications using multimedia metadata, we are seeking: � Location-based multimedia applications such as: � LBS for mobile citizens and workers (individuals and groups) � LBS for geographical coordination in emergency scenario � Next-generation multimedia guiding applications such as rich media tourist guides � Standards, open architectures, standardized APIs for context-aware multimedia information systems Submission & Contact: Submissions must be in English. All submissions will be reviewed for relevance, originality, significance, soundness and clarity by three reviewers. The page limit is 20 pages for full papers, 10 pages for short papers.

[Fwd: [WI] Cfp - 5th German Workshop on Experience Management, 25.-27.3.09, Solothurn/Switzerland]
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Cfp - 5th German Workshop on Experience Management, 25.-27.3.09, Solothurn/Switzerland Datum: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 10:43:55 +0200 Von: Barth, Thomas <barth(a)fb5.uni-siegen.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CALL FOR PAPERS "5th German Workshop on Experience Management" http://www.km-conference2009.org/workshops/gwem09.php within the 5th Conference "Professional Knowledge Management - Experiences and Visions" March 25 - 27, 2009 in Solothurn/Switzerland http://www.km-conference2009.org/ Motivation ========== Efficient utilization of experience is gaining in importance since expertise, "know how", applied knowledge can be assessed as one of the most important resources and the key issue for successfully competing organizations in almost every sector of economy. In the context of this workshop as well as the workshops previously held in this series, 'experience' is mainly considered as a form of knowledge obtained during the solution of problems. Therefore, similar but not identical issues from approaches developed in Knowledge Management, all aspects of the whole lifecycle of 'experience' are in the focus of this workshop: Analyzing, modeling, storing, retrieving, developing, and reusing experience are major challenges to Experience Management (EM) and hence can be in the center of contributions to this workshop. Based on these lifecycle-oriented issues, aspects of applying EM in "real world" scenarios (e.g. in manufacturing industry, commerce etc.) coming from a variety of scientific communities are as well of great interest. Hence, besides the traditionally strong focus of this workshop series on the design, development and integration of intelligent systems and methods for managing experience, subjects relevant in Experience Management may be contributed by different communities from computer science (e.g. aspects of collaborative/"Web 2.0" techniques in the development/use/distribution of experiences), mathematics (e.g. analysis and design of algorithms from machine learning, CBR, network analysis), social science (e.g. modeling and analysis of usage and development of experience in networks, acceptance of experience-based derived solutions), and business administration/economics (e.g. assessing the economic value of EM in enterprises). The overall objective of this workshop is to provide an interdisciplinary forum where practitioners and researchers can exchange ideas, concepts and solutions concerning the design and implementation of Experience Management systems, present practical experiences from applications in any domain, and discuss future research directions. Topics of Interest ================== Submissions from all areas contributing to the development and application of intelligent EM systems are welcome. We explicitly encourage paper submissions which are not mainstream but from communities within mathematics, social sciences or economics in order to obtain a more interdisciplinary view on the subject. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * modeling, representation, discovery, and use of experience * retrieval techniques * aspects of experiences lifecycles * methods and approaches for integrating EM into organizations and their (business) processes * software engineering issues of EM systems * case studies for EM from any application domain (e.g. manufacturing industry, commerce, science) * aspects of EM in organizations Intended Audience ================= The target group includes researchers and practitioners who are interested in developing, applying and analyzing EM systems and the scenarios they can be used in. Submission guideline ==================== Accepted contributions will be published in the conference (printed, long version of up to ten pages) or workshop (online, short version of up to five pages) proceedings. All submitted papers should not exceed ten pages and have to be formatted according to the following instructions: http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/ All contributions must be submitted via EasyChair http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wm2009workshops as PDF file. Timetable ========= Submission deadline for workshop contributions: October 31, 2008 Notification of acceptance or rejection of the papers: December 15, 2008 Camera-ready copy of the papers due: January 16, 2009 --> GWEM at WM2009 in Solothurn, Switzerland: March 25-27, 2009 --- Prof. Dr.-Ing.

[Fwd: [computational.science] Special Issue IEEE TKDE: Call for Contributions]
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Special Issue IEEE TKDE: Call for Contributions Datum: Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:53:26 +0300 Von: Nick Bassiliades <nbassili(a)csd.auth.gr> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ] =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Rule Representation, Interchange and Reasoning in Distributed, Heterogeneous Environments Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering Guest Editors: N. Bassiliades, G. Governatori, A. Paschke, J. Dix =========================================================================== In recent years rule based technologies have enjoyed remarkable adoption in two areas: (1) Business Rule Processing and (2) Web-Centered Reasoning. The first trend is caused by the software development life cycle, which needs to be accelerated at reduced cost. The second trend is related to the Semantic Web and Service-oriented technologies, which aim to turn the Web into a huge repository of cross-referenced, machine-understandable data and processes. For both trends, rules can be used to extract, derive, transform, and integrate information in a platform-independent manner. While early rule engines and environments were complex, expensive to maintain, and not very user friendly, the current generation of rule technology provides enhanced usability, scalability and performance, and is less costly. A general advantage of using rules is that they are usually represented in a platform independent manner, often using XML. This fits well into today’s distributed, heterogeneous Web-based system environments. Rules represented in standardized Web formats can be discovered, interchanged and invoked at runtime within and across Web systems, and can be interpreted and executed on any platform. This special issue solicits state-of-the-art approaches, solutions and applications in the area of Rule Representation, Reasoning and Interchange in the context of distributed, (partially) open, heterogeneous environments, such as the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented Computing. We strongly advise that solicited contributions should clearly identify the target class of applications they enable. ======= Topics ======= Original contributions, not currently under review or accepted by another journal, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following: - Rule Representation and Languages * Rule languages for exchanging and processing information through the web * Representation and meta-annotation of rules and rule sets for publication and interchange * Event-driven/action rule languages and models * Rule-based event processing languages and rule-based complex event processing * Modeling of executable rule specifications and tool support * Natural-language processing of rules * Graphical processing, modeling and rendering of rules * Rules in web 2.0, web 3.0, semantic web technologies and web intelligence research - Reasoning and Rule Engines * Execution models, rule engines, and environments * Rule-based (multi-valued) reasoning with and representing uncertain and fuzzy information * Rule-based reasoning with non-monotonic negation, modalities, deontic, temporal, priority, scoped or other rule qualifications * Rule-based default reasoning with default logic, defeasible logic, and answer set programming * Compilation vs. interpretation approaches of rules * Hybrid rule systems - Rule Interchange and Integration * Interchange and refactoring of rule bases in heterogeneous execution environments * Rule-based agility and its role in middleware * Communication between rule based systems using interchange formats and processing / communication middleware * Information integration of external data and domain knowledge into rules * Homogeneous and heterogeneous integration of rules and ontologies * Extraction and reengineering of platform-independent, interchangeable rules and rule models from existing platform-specific resources * Rule interchange standards and related industry interchange formats * Incorporation of rule technology into distributed enterprise application architectures * Interoperation between different rule formats and ontological domain conceptualization * Translation of interchangeable and domain-independent rule formats and rule models into executable technical rule specifications - Rule Engineering and Repositories * Verification and validation of interchanged rule bases in heterogeneous execution environments * Practical solutions tackling the real-world software engineering requirements of rule-based systems in open, distributed environments * Collaborative authoring, modeling and engineering of rule specifications and rule repositories * Management and maintenance of distributed rule bases and rule repositories during their lifecycle - Web Rule Applications * Applications and integration of rules in web standards * Applications of rules in the semantic web and pragmatic web * Applications based on (semantic) web rule standardization or standards-proposing efforts * Applications of rules in e.g. legal reasoning, compliance rules, security, government, security, risk management, trust and proof reasoning, etc. * E-contracting and automated negotiations with rule-based declarative strategies * Specification, execution and management of rule-based policies and electronic contracts * Rule-based software agents and (web) services * Theoretical and/or empirical evaluation of rule-based system performance and scalability ======================= Submission Guidelines ======================= Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published in recent issues of the journal or at http://www.computer.org/tkde/.

[Fwd: [isworld] cfp: Information Systems Journal (ISJ): Ten Years of Electronic Government Research]
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] cfp: Information Systems Journal (ISJ): Ten Years of Electronic Government Research Datum: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 17:48:40 -0400 Von: Gurpreet Dhillon <gdhillon(a)vcu.edu> Antwort an: Gurpreet Dhillon <gdhillon(a)vcu.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> A Special Issue of ISJ Reflecting on the Theories and Practices that have shaped E-Government Research Vishanth Weerakkody, Brunel University, UK Yogesh K. Dwivedi, Swansea University, UK Gurpreet Dhillon, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA Ali Montazemi, McMaster University, Canada Electronic government can be broadly viewed as the adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) in government organisations to improve public services. For many countries, e-government implementation efforts began in the late 1990s. The e-government led implementation of ICT in public administration during the last ten years has offered better, faster and more transparent means for citizens and businesses to interact with government. Equally, it has also created a platform for better collaboration and information sharing between various government agencies. Implementation efforts in most countries have now evolved from basic information provisioning to more integrated service offerings that involve cross agency process and information systems transformation to enable more joined-up and citizen-centric e-government services. However, public sector process transformation is a complex undertaking involving distributed decision-making that requires a good understanding of the political context, business processes and technology as well as design and engineering methods capable of breaking through the traditional boundaries that exist between public organisation units. Conversely, from a demand perspective extensive efforts are required to increase citizens� awareness about the transformation of the delivery of government services and their online availability. In order to prevent digital divide in terms of using e-government services, it is also necessary that citizens from all facets of society are equipped with basic ICT skills as well as private and or public access to high-speed internet connections. Yet, despite the availability of innovative technologies, government agencies are faced with many technical, organizational, and socio-economic challenges and barriers that need to be addressed when developing, adopting and diffusing e-government systems and services. Furthermore, from an organisational perspective e-government has introduced an environment where most public institutions such as healthcare, social services, education and employment have struggled with the need to balance issues such as transparency and opaqueness, or social inclusion and professionalism. Consequently, there has been increasing pressure on the academic and practitioner communities for research that focuses on bridging the gap between e-government theory and practice. This special issue of the Information Systems Journal aims to reflect and analyse the past ten years of global e-government adoption and diffusion efforts by combining theory and e-government practice. The guest editors seek for papers from around the world that combine technical, managerial, organizational and/or socio-economic aspects of e-government. Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to: � The development, implementation, control and maintenance of e-government projects � Policy and strategy to create and disseminate successful e-government services � Theories and conceptual models that support e-government implementation � Tools, methods, frameworks and guidelines for e-government adoption and diffusion � Different process, information systems and technology integration approaches used in e-government projects � IT-Governance, integrated service delivery and reengineering of the public sector � Enterprise architecture at various levels of government � Barriers to awareness, adoption and diffusion of e-government services � Evaluation of case studies � Business strategy and technology alignments in e-government � Innovative applications and best practices in e-government � Overview studies; development within countries, policies, infrastructure facilities and comparative studies (comparing countries) � Role of high-speed internet in encouraging adoption and diffusion of e-government services � Role of socio-economic determinants in encouraging adoption and diffusion of e-government services � E-government and digital divide Submission Guidelines Manuscripts should not normally exceed 7000 words and should be submitted electronically as a MS Word document to Vishanth.weerakkody(a)brunel.ac.uk and copied to Carolyn Bailey at isj(a)brunel.ac.uk.

Articles published in this special issue will present current, state-of-art research and critical thinking, designed to transfer to academics and professionals alike the necessary knowledge in the specific area of the use and management of Web 2.0 applications by travel and tourism firms. Web 2.0 is fundamentally changing the way travellers and tourists search, find, read and trust as well as (collaboratively) produce information about tourism suppliers and destinations. Moreover, web 2.0 applications (such as collaborative trip planning tools, three dimensions virtual spaces) empower travellers to engage in the design, production and promotion of tour packages, cultural events, hotel rooms and other travel-tourism products and services. Travellers 2.0 become and they expect to be active prosumers (producers and consumers) and marketers of personalised travel experiences. As a result, travel and tourism companies need to change and redefine their business models and operations in order to incorporate travellers and their social networks as well as to manage and exploit travellers' social intelligence and user-generated content in value creation activities. This special issue of the Journal of Enterprise Information Management aims to advance the evolution, use and management of web 2.0 applications and innovative e-business models in travel and tourism that exploit and incorporate travellers and their intelligence within business operations and customer value creation activities. The objectives of the special issue are to publish findings and exchange knowledge on the development of new research theories, methodologies and applications. Thus, theoretical, empirical, experimental, case studies and policy-oriented contributions are welcome, but all contributions should clearly address the practical implications of the research reported.

Today�s organisations increasingly plan and invest on new Information Systems (IS) to better compete and align their business strategy and applications. Organisations are also increasingly presenting themselves as part of dynamic networks. IS assists in the development of such networks, which emerge connecting customers with suppliers, suppliers with suppliers and customers with customers in innovative ways. This perspective provides a wider space for the discussion of development, implementation and adoption of IS as, for instance, various issues related to stakeholders, culture, power, organisational change underpin the process of introducing IS in an organisation. Additionally, the characterisation of IS and organisational landscape by network dominance and increasing complexity may state the need for a paradigm shift in the IS community towards, for instance, complexity science and the shift it can provide in the IS discipline and its re-positioning in the management field. The stream intends to draw knowledge from academia and industry. It aims to allow young academics and practitioners to present their research and use of IS. The scope of the stream is to enhance our understanding with regard to issues arising from research in IS implementation and adoption in public and private organisations. Furthermore, it is the intention of the stream to promote insightful discussions in respect to the impact of IS on organisational networks and the interactions of organisations with their strategic partners, as well as their impact in their performance. Finally, the stream aims to offer views on possible paradigm shifts towards the study of IS implementation and adoption towards a more dynamical theoretical and methodological platform better suited for studying IS dynamics at the dawn of the 21st century. Submission deadline is 27th October. For further details please contact Thanos Papadopoulos (Athanasios.Papadopoulos05(a)phd.wbs.ac.uk).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] 2nd Workshop on the Convergence of Knowledge Management and E-Learning -5th Conference Professional Knowledge Management Datum: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 14:13:42 +0200 (CEST) Von: Markus.Bick(a)escp-eap.de Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; CALL FOR PAPERS */CKME09 - 2nd Workshop on the Convergence of Knowledge Management and E-Learning/* http://users.jyu.fi/~japawlow/km2009.html <http://users.jyu.fi/%7Ejapawlow/km2009.html> within the /5th Conference Professional Knowledge Management - Experiences and Visions/ March 25 - 27, 2009 in Solothurn/Switzerland http://www.km-conference2009.org/ *Background and Motivation of the Workshop* =========================================== Convergence is one of the main trends of this decade: Systems, technologies are merged or developed in a common direction. This trend leads to a variety of changes for organizations and individuals. After the very successful first CKME Workshop 2007 in Potsdam, we would like to proceed on this current topic. Thereby, we would like to keep up the discussion concerning the integration of concepts, processes, and systems for the fields of knowledge management and e-learning. Convergence can be observed on different levels, i.e., cultural level, organisational / process level, system's level, and technological level. The workshop mainly focuses on two issues: a) how can knowledge, learning and business processes be integrated, and b) how can the related systems be integrated to enable an efficient workflow. Currently, even less learning environments take the context and the environment into account. Using mobile and ambient technologies can lead to a paradigm shift in the construction of such environments: from static to highly contextualized knowledge experiences. With regard to recent research and application projects the second CKME Workshop will moreover focus on the adoption and diffusion of corresponding approaches. How can knowledge, learning and business processes as well as the related systems be designed and interrelated for successful adoption and diffusion? This is the leading question for this workshop. *Topics of Interest* ================== We appreciate submissions from all areas contributing to the development and application of convergent systems especially targeting the above mentioned levels of convergence. Thereby, we encourage contributions addressing technology-oriented as well as human-oriented approaches. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Convergence of processes and systems * Implementing and Establishing convergent solutions * Contextualisation (e.g., location-based services, mobile solutions, internationalisation) * Tools and implementations * Prototypes / Cases Studies The workshop should lead to comprehensive insights into integrated knowledge and learning solutions. *Addressed Audience* ===================== The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners that are interested in combining findings from two different fields: knowledge management and e-learning. Thereby, the content ranges from recent scientific approaches via prototypical implementations up to field reports about the convergence of knowledge management and e-Learning. Although authors are strongly encouraged to submit their paper in English language, papers in German language were accepted equally. The workshop will be held either in English or in German language - depending on the participants. *Deadlines and Submission* =========================== * 31.10.2008: Full Paper Submission * 15.12.2008: Notification * 16.01.2009: Final Submission The publication information will be updated regularly on the conference website. * For each workshop, there is space in the conference proceedings. * All papers in the conference proceedings have to be formatted according to the following instructions: http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/ * Paper accepted for being published in the conference proceedings should not exceed 10 pages. * For papers only accepted as a presentation, we will provide handouts to attendees of the workshop which includes all those papers which did not manage to be published in the conference proceedings but got still accepted for the workshop. * Submission can be effective via the conference tool.
